Effects of pneumococcal vaccination program on pneumococcal carriage and invasive disease

April 8, 2011 By admin 1 Comment

Using a cross-sectional study, Stefan Flasche and colleagues investigated the effects of the UK pneumococcal vaccination program on serotype-specific carriage and invasive pneumococcal disease.

There are more than 90 Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes that can cause invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD). The pneumococcal conjugate vaccine PCV7 contains antigens from seven serotypes responsible for IPD. Immunization with PCV7 prevents both IPD disease and carriage of these seven serotypes, but after vaccination non-vaccine serotypes could colonize the nasopharynx. There are concerns that this “serotype replacement” could reduce the benefits of vaccination. This cross-sectional study examined nasopharyngeal swabs taken from PCV7-vaccinated children and their families for S. pneumoniae, determined the serotype of any bacteria found, and compared the proportion of people carrying S. pneumoniae (carrier prevalence) and the distribution of serotypes in this study population with a similar population that was studied in 2000/1, before the PCV vaccination program began. Carriage of vaccine serotypes decreased in vaccinated children and their contacts whereas carriage of non-vaccine serotypes increased. The invasiveness of the replacing serotypes was generally lower than those of the original serotypes, which resulted in a net reduction in IPD in children. But three serotypes not present in the vaccine had emerged that had high invasiveness potential.

Although the recent introduction of PCV13 into UK vaccination schedules is likely to have an incremental benefit on the reduction of IPD compared to PCV7, this benefit might be offset by increases in the carriage of some high invasiveness serotypes. These emerging serotypes should be considered for inclusion in future vaccines.

[Note from SaneVax:  This same issue is present with all vaccinations. Viruses and bacterium have one sole purpose to their existence – to survive. They can and do adapt and mutate to continue to survive when attacked by a vaccine meant to produce antibodies against them. It has happened with worldwide with bacteria attacked by antibiotics that were over-used. Now the medical community is scrambling to find a way to combat infections by superbugs.  This was apparently not a good enough lesson for pharmaceutical companies who continue to preach ‘kill the virus/bacteria, kill the disease.’  Are we setting the human race up for a whole new set of super-diseases by constantly attacking relatively benign viruses/bacteria?

The SaneVax Team believes we cannot afford to adopt a ‘wait and see’ attitude. The time has come to adopt a more scientific attitude – this issue needs to be studied and dealt with – particularly when you know you are dealing with 83 strains of bacteria that are not covered by vaccination.]

    Resistant 'superbugs' threaten infectious disease treatment…

    The world is heading towards a post-antibiotic era, in which many common infections will no longer have a cure, the World Health Organization (WHO) warned in a new study this week. Antibiotics are less likely to work on infections, which leads to prol….
